Rev. J. S. Smith, formerly of this
city, writing from Weston, Mo-, to
the LEDGER, says a company has
been formed in that place to bore
for coal, for which purpose $4,000
will be raised. The crop prospects
in that part of the State are good,
thought something seems to be the
matter with the wheat, as it is dying
instead of ripening.

JOHN TAYLOR.

For the third time in the history Of
the Mormon Church the members Of
that faith are called upon to mourn the
death of their president and spiritual
head on earth. John Taylor has gone
to his long home, having passed to his
rest on Monday evening.
The news of this sad event will be re-
ceived in sorrow, and sadness will over
cast the community, but the announce
ment will not startle and shock the
people as it would have done a few
weeks ago. 1t has been known to a
considerable number for some time that
President Taylor was very sick,
and not likely to recover; and
the information has been spre i'd
ing for month past, until
comparatively all were prepare
to hear the worst at any moment
While the knowledge of his impending
death was general, and the news of his
demise not unexpected, the popular
grief will be as intense and the sorrow
as keen as under different circum-
stances, for John Taylor was both re-
spected and loved by the people. He
was respected because of the exalted
position which he occupied, and loved
for his many coed and noble qualities
of head and heart. Always admired
and held in the highest esteem by the
Mormons, his administration has en-,
deared him to the people, for they have
found in him a friend, devoted to the
cause with which he was associated and
thoughtful and considerate for those
with whom his lot was cast, and in
the direction of whose affairs he exer
cised so much influence, and welded
such mighty power.
The story of John Taylor's life is told
more deliberately in another place ia

story Of one offthe remarkable men Of

LANGTRY's CITlZENsHIP.

A short time ago, when she was in
San Francisco filling professional en-
sgagement, Mrs. Langtry declared her
Intention to become a citizen of the
Omitted States. The other day tele-
gram brought the news that Justice
Field, of the United States Supreme
court. had expressed the opinion that
her declaration was irregular, and that
! in order to make it valid she would
have to return to San Francisco and
make her declaration of intentions in
Z regular form, as other people are re-
fquired to do. 1t transpires that in
stead of going before the clerk of the
court at his Office, and making oath as
other persons do, she had the clerk
carry his record to her hotel, where she
was sworn. Justice Field objects to
! this, and holds that it was irregular
and therefore illegal. 1t is doubtful il
the learned justice would be sustained il
1.-THE matter were to come up in a court
over which he did not preside. The
s law does not require that the alien
! shall declare his intention in open court
or in the Office of the clerk, but before 8
/ clerk of court having a record and
seal. If the clerk is sufficiently good
snatured and accommodating to carry
& his record around 10 the homes OF
fascinating ladies, within the district. il
seems to US he can do so without yiolat
j ing the law or inValidsting his official
acts. Justice Field would hardly Assem-,
to the proposition that judicial order
signed and issued by him from his room
/ in the Palace Hotel, would be invalid
and without legal force. The Judge
would not hesitate anywhere within
his circuit to sign paper or issue de-
scree, whether he was in a private room.
on the street or out on the prairie. The
clerk of the court, it occurs to US, is not
obliged to perform all his official acts I'M
his Office; if he were, justice would
often be defeated.
At the same time we are glad JusticeI
Field has called attention to the
IIaxity of our naturalization laws. This
may be the means of leading to the
cure of an evil which all confess exists.
If it should have this effect much good
will grow out of the affair. The Amer;-
'can-born man has to reside here
twenty one years before he can be-
come a citizen of the United States +.
and enjoy the rights and privileges of
citizenship; to him the estate is valuable
and highly priced. Foreigners should
also be made to esteem citizenship, byl
imposing upon them such conditions
las will cause them to put forth AM
effort to acquire so valuable thing.

FATE OF A COWBOY.
FlOOred by the Deadly Cigarette
Which He Defied,

The recent case of Mr.. John W. Steb-
sbins, of Wyoming, will do much tt
open the eyes of the users of the vile
weed in its vilest form. It will pair
! many good people to know that the
acigarette has instituted itself into the
: rural simplicity of Wyoming. Hitherto
: the inhabitants of the Territory have
been guileless pastoral people, who oc
casionally INDUCED in scalping, cattle
raids and bad whisky, enlivened by
murder now and then, but never has
their worst enemy charged them with
smoking cigarettes. Now, alas, all this
4 is changed It is no common sight to
See gang of cowboys peaceably re-
turning to camp after sacking q village,
each with a cigarette in his mouth.
sTrue, some of the most noble of the
scowboYs stood out against the growth
= of this habit and shot few of the
smokers, but although this method of
kargument seemed to be conclusive in in
adlVldual cases, yet matters of policy
prevented its universal adoption. So,
Elm spite of the best intentions on the
apart of the opponents of the vice. it
xcontinued TO spread among the unsoph-
kisticated people of the plains. Stebbins
sfell an easy victim to the cigarette and
ssmoked necessarily. The effect of the
shabit on him was not noticed until one
sday he fred at tenderfoot from the
Feast three times in succession and
missed him every time. This alarmed
Rhis friends and they sought him with
clears in their eyes to abandon a habit
sthat was doing SO much to undermine
shis usefulness and influence on the
splains. Stebbins himself felt rather
shaken and consulted physician, who
told him if he did not give up cigarette
smoking he would not live six months.
sStebbins agreed to quit-next week.
aThis is popularity of the cigaretteI
smokers. They are always going toI
iquit some time in the future. That
might there was a social card party ipl
the shenty. Stebbins sat on the POWDER
Ikeg. He let a cigarette stump fall onl
the key. The party instantly broke up
|Stebbins and part of the keg were lasti
seen going through the roof. AS neitherl
has yet come down serious fears are be
ginning to be entertained on the rancho
that something has happened to Steb-
bins. Thus it is that tt c-or's mostg
sanguine expectations h.A en- real-t
lied, and the name of John " rIngtonl
has been added to t. alreadys
long list of the victims of tbs deadlyE
cigarette.

Gould to talk to him the other day
when Jay impressed upon the younl
mans mind that a rich man was .
terrible sufferer. He said man was {
slave to his wealth, and that so far as
he Could was concerned he had never
been really happy since he was a poor
boy. Truly, Jay is to be pitied; but
come to think the matter over, he has
it in his power to get rid of the
wealth which is so troublesome to him.

the world. It is not the history OF a
Sgreat man, as the world understands
Greatness; but rather the account of q
sIife which was marked for its devotion
Ito purpose, its deep sincerity, its an
Ef4ltering integrity and its unwavering
ardor. Among the first to profess belief
s and confess faith in the then new gospel
and its boy apostle and prophet, he
never faltered in that belief and
faith, never conceived that il
might be possible he was de-
ceived. 1t is rare indeed that
we find one who through long life
! has been neither inconstant, vacillating
nor wavering; who has been true to q
purpose and never doubling. Such
man the history of John Taylor
shows him to have been. Sincere and
something of an enthusiast when he
accepted the gospel as proclaimed by
Joseph Smith, his sincerity and en-
sthusiam continued and increased with
/ his years; if he were a Mormon fifty
years ago he was a Mormon every day,
/ hour and minute afterwards. The
lconviction was in his heart, and could
| not be eradicated. Persecution only
intensified his enthusiasm; maltreat-
m ent further convinced him that he
was right; the lash of the mobocrat
land the bullet of the assassin made
him brave in the assertion of his belief
land profession of his faith. AS one
READS the history of John Taylor,
land reflects on what he en-
.dured in the service of the
cause to which he devoted all
his manhood's years. the greatness of
the dead President looms loftily, and
the mind places him by the side of his
toric martyrs to religious belief and pro-
fession.
As remarked, President Taylor will
be sincerely mourned. His administra-I
ton has been such as to endear him toi
the people in whose affection he has
grown very fast during the past few
years. Aside from the peoples rever-
ence and religious love for him, his en-
forced retirement to avoid arrest ands
has inspired keen SYM
pathy which will now make many an
otherwise thoughtless heart sad. TheE
sorrow and gloom which have so longE
'Verspread this afflicted Territory Wills
,e intensified and deepened by this sor-S
owful event which removes from earthE
he foremost man in the community &
nd deprives the people of one who has
o long, so faithfully and so ably stoodg
It their head, as brother, counselor, Il
riend and leader. D
